Who or What Stands Behind The Mask?

This may be a bit off topic, but may satisfy enquiring minds that need to know...

I was asked recently by a Naybob of Realty, in so many words "what do you stand for?" My retort follows...

I stand against the following: Big Brother.

the moral majority "Strength through Unity. Unity through Faith."

the Orwellian "War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength."

a society that is ruled by government, rather than the government being run as a voice of the people (vox populi).

government surveillance, torture, fear mongering, media manipulation, not to mention corporate corruption and religious hypocrisy.

Remember the 1605 Gunpowder Plot? A group of Catholic conspirators led by Guy Fawkes plotted to blow up the Houses of Parliament while King James I of England and VI of Scotland and most of the aristocracy were in it.

The plot intended to kill the king, his family and most of the Protestant aristocracy by blowing up the Houses of Parliament during the State Opening on 5 November 1605, in order to spark a revolution in England.

Remember, remember the fifth of November,
The gunpowder treason and plot,
I know of no reason
Why the gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot

Guy Fawkes was ranked 30th in the 2002 list of the 100 Greatest Britons, sponsored by the BBC and voted for by the public...

he is referred to as the only man ever to enter parliament with honest intentions.

and to this day, Guy Fawkes night is celebrated in the UK every November 5th. Proving that the spirit still lives on.

The Nattering One believes that the pen is mightier than the sword.

Those who make the effort to fight the good fight may suffer or die for their efforts, but not in vain, as their ideas live on.

Behind this mask there is more than flesh... Behind this mask there is an idea, and ideas are bulletproof.
